24 star Katee Sackhoff talks about leaving Battlestar Galactica for the world of Jack Bauer. Katee discusses playing against type, her character’s twisted back story and moving on from the Sci-Fi world.

Katee appeared on G4TV’s Attack of the Show tonight to discuss her role on 24 among other things. They show a brief clip from next weeks episode (of Dana Walsh guiding Kevin Wade over the phone) at around the 4 minute mark.

[..YouTube..] I’m sorry, Katee was terrible. She was not believable at all. Whoever wrote her character did a lousy job. She was wimpy and unintelligent; certainly no Nina Myers. What?! Did he just say she was “out-Chloeing” Chloe? Are you serious? I love Katee. She was excellent in BG. But I am glad they killed her off.

She did not do it for me. I could not help but scold her the entire time. But, since you made the point of her being the “school girl trying to play in the big leagues as a spy” then I can cut her some slack. But, that also speaks to how emotionally immature most the agents at CTU were. I wonder if that was on purpose by the Writers? They would hire anyone for CTU?! And Tony Almeida did not grow a pair until later in the seasons.

[..YouTube..] @originaluziclip The only thing you would cut her slack on is that she was just following the script. Acting-wise, she did the best should could, but the character of Dana Walsh was just terrible. At times, Katee’s acting skills were garbage, but she was playing an impossible role. I completely agree with you. Terrible in 24.

[..YouTube..] @tangram108 I totally agree with you. I think she is a great actor (certianly not the next Johnny Depp) but she did a great job with what she had. The writing was so all over the place with the character of Walsh
